During this year's college enrollment period, Liaoning Benxi college entrance examination sports bonus fraud things caused a sensation throughout the country. In fact, this is only one of several corruption cases created by some stakeholders using the policy of "Chinese characteristics". This incident reminds me of a very correct remark made by Comrade Mao Zedong: "develop sports and enhance people's physique", which was engraved on the wall in front of the rostrum of our school's track and field field field. The main purpose of sports is to strengthen the national physique, rather than to cultivate sports elite and sports nobility. Of course, it is Pierre de Coubertin, a famous educator, international sports activist and founder of modern Olympic movement, who scientifically interprets the sports spirit of universal values. He said: "sports are vital to people's moral development. The beauty of the Olympics can inspire people's qualities such as innovation, courage, dignity, self-confidence and sense of responsibility.".

I don't seem to be born with any talent for sports, and sports has brought me a "stain" in history. It was the year when I graduated from junior high school. I didn't get my diploma because I failed in physical education. I still remember two projects that failed to meet the standard after hard work: the fatigued body of single stroke (at that time, I was fat and fell off half way) and the 60 meter dash. I remember that in order to "please" the PE teacher, sometimes it rained a little. I and another classmate who was related to the disease were wearing a hat for running training. I hope the PE teacher could see our good attitude and pass us easily. But the PE teacher is "impartial", his sports standard is the last word, and we didn't pass it in the end. Fortunately, at that time, the policy stipulated that only students who failed in physical education could take part in the senior high school entrance examination. Later, we were admitted to senior high school and University as we wish (that classmate was in Beijing Institute of mining and technology next door to our school). Therefore, failing in sports did not delay my "future". In 2007, junior high school celebrated the 70th anniversary of the founding of the school. The school invited me to attend the celebration. As a representative of alumni, I just sat on the rostrum with the PE teacher of that year. We had a good talk. After the meeting, the head teacher joked to me: he didn't let you and another classmate fail in those years, which almost affected your bright future. I said that this matter is still fresh in my mind, but now it is just a little "legendary" experience in the process of our study. There is nothing wrong with PE teachers acting according to the rules.

A few days ago, I had a video chat with a pair of young people abroad. Combined with the experience of the quadrennial football World Cup, I, as a "sports fan", naturally could not understand the performances of those "Crazy" football fans. I'm only interested in the moment of goal in the football match, especially the arc "banana ball". It seems that the impression of these young people does not belong to sports addicts, but their two explanations of the "far-reaching significance" of sports spirit of people in some European and American countries make me feel "suddenly enlightened" and "suddenly enlightened". They have been abroad for nearly 10 years. All the countries they stay in belong to the countries with advanced civilization and legal system in Europe and the United States. They also have some aboriginal friends from these countries. In contact with them, they gradually understand the understanding of "sportsmanship" by the people of some European and American countries.

They said that parents in those countries generally pay more attention to children's rich and diverse activities since childhood, among which various types of sports activities are an important aspect. They arrange children's physical exercise without any utilitarian color, but for children's physical and mental health and long-term development. In their opinion, to make children love physical exercise from childhood is not only to satisfy and strengthen their physique, but also to exercise their will to "fight hard and forge ahead", "not afraid of hardship and tiredness" and "overcome difficulties". This will and spirit of "not afraid of difficulties, be brave to forge ahead" will have a positive impact on children's whole life. It will make children experience difficulties, setbacks and tribulations in their life-long study and work, as they often encounter in the process of physical education, that is, the "Frustration Education" that some educators talk about. It seems that people do not deliberately regard this kind of sports activities as an integral part of "quality" education.

I understand the spirit of sports in this way. If a person can adhere to this kind of "physical exercise" since childhood, it is not easy to stick to it regardless of the weather. Take running as an example. If we are not for some kind of utility, such as the bonus points of junior high school to junior high school, junior high school to senior high school, and senior high school to university, who can stick to it for many years except a few people who are determined to engage in sports? We can recall how hard it was for us to stick to the "three-day fishing and two-day net" physical exercise in childhood, especially in the hot or cold winter season. This long-term persistence and imperceptible sports spirit will have a positive impact on one's inner "spiritual world".

However, many of our parents often take the opposite approach, because they are afraid that their children will suffer in this kind of "unprofitable" physical exercise, which leads to the extremely serious utilitarianism of sports here. Coupled with the "fuel" of government policies, the social atmosphere is getting worse and worse. For example, cheating is prevalent in the sports bonus policy, which desecrates the spirit of sports. Even if the school allows children to do some extracurricular physical exercise, some parents will call it not doing their proper work, especially by some exam taking masters. Parents of children who study hard think that physical exercise only belongs to those who have poor academic performance and want to go to college through physical education. Or go to a physical education school and become a "simple minded, well-developed" person. This kind of understanding is really ignorant.

When I think of the Chinese basketball star, Harvard University student, and Lin Shuhao, who studies basketball in the same way, although this is an example, it also illustrates the problem. Of course, if we can't correctly understand and use the "sports spirit" and apply the "sports spirit" of universal value to our own work, such as university teachers' teaching, scientific research and social services, and technical R & D personnel's new product development, we will only secularize the "sports spirit" and regard it as a profit-making tool. For example, in addition to a very small number of sports champions, such as Li Ning, he is a model of transforming sportsmanship into productivity. Some of our sports champions, when they finish their sports career, except for the government's "reward" for some administrative positions, once they leave the sports industry, they will achieve nothing and live a hard life.

Therefore, we should correctly understand and interpret the "sports spirit" of universal value, so that the "sports spirit" can serve for the healthy social development and the improvement of the "personality" of all citizens. Let the sports spirit with universal value benefit all our citizens!
